Revise Vyttila Flyover Design: for an Easy Traffic flow for All Directions

The current design of the Vyttilaflyover is just a six lane flyover giving continuity only to the National Highway in the North- South direction. But this doesn’t solve the traffic congestion at the Vyttila intersection. As stated by Dr. E. Sreedharan, principal advisor of DMRC, the Vyttila intersection have 5 roads converging totalling movement of vehicles in 15 different directions. Since the current design of the flyover solves only the north-south movement of traffic, the congestion at the signal will persist even after the flyover construction proving the flyover ineffective. We believe that the current design is done considering only the traffic flow along the National Highway. Vyttila intersection is a pivotal point with high traffic flow in all directions and hence requires a more advanced elevated intersection at different levels than the ordinary intersection.

Dr. E. Sreedharan is a well experienced Engineer, who has been working with the DMRC supporting KMRL for the construction of Kochi Metro Project. We have seen his work through the implementation of Kochi Metro Phase 1 & 2. When such an experienced personnel is ready for providing all support to the effective redesign and construction of flyover, I believe we should accept that support. Since the metro train is also passing through the Vyttila intersection, he can ensure that both the system works effectively without any interruption.

We humbly request you to revise the current design of flyover and include Dr. E. Sreedharan for the redesign and construction of the flyover. We believe that you will consider our request genuine and take the appropriate action for the same.
